Tłumaczenie tłumaczenia (czyli William Blake w powieści Olgi Tokarczuk)

Author(s): Lidija Tanushevska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2020

The paper discusses the connection between Olga Tokarczuk’s novel Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead and the poetry of William Blake. Blake’s ideology was to show how mankind had come to the end because of its misdeeds, using the animal imagery, which links him to the topic presented by Tokarczuk, criticizing the cruelty of the authorities towards animals. She quoted Blake at the beginning of every chapter and created a character skilled in translating Blake. Since not much of Blake’s oeuvre has been translated in Macedonian, the translator of this novel had to deal with translating Blake too. Consequently, this text also focuses on the translation problems which she had to solve.

Философи и философки - Сартр, Бовоар и другите. Авторитети и императиви

Author(s): Evdokiya Borisova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 10/2020

This article discusses male and female authorities in the philosophy of existentialism and phenomenology. It explores the dominance and expansion of existentialism over the soft power of phenomenology and feminism, the habits of life and metaphysical notions about life, mothers and sons, lonely philosophers, Christianity and atheism, repression and the free soul, the ubiquitous authority of Jean Paul Sartre, and the imperative that you must be free. It also discusses the strength of the „second“ sex and the weaknesses of the male, the pseudo-authorities of gender in general, as defined by Simone de Beauvoir, and, finally, examines alcohol intoxication and the authority of women‘s drinks – the ubiquitous apricot cocktails, which have become a basis for phenomenology.

“Армія метафор” у науковому дискурсі

Author(s): Mariana Lanovyk,Zoriana Lanovyk / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 101/2020

The article outlines the problem of the terminological potential of metaphor as the main figure of poetics, rhetoric, artistic and poetic thinking in general. The authors analyze numerous works about the nature and value of the metaphor; comprehend peculiarities of its use, forms and discourses of use, figurative potential of metaphorical thinking; at the same time, they emphasize on the mythological basis of such thinking (in particular, based on the works of O. Freudenberg, N. Frye, F. Nietzsche).The main focus is on the metaphorical (figurative) nature of terminology in both the humanities and the exact sciences, as well as the problem of the interpenetration of terms, in particular, scientific terms, metaphors borrowed from human sciences.The research confirms that at the present stage of development of all spheres of knowledge and science in general there is a cross-cutting penetration of metaphor at different levels: at the level of the names of theories; at the level of titles of scientific works – from ancient times to modern times; at the level of naming / defining phenomena and concepts, etc. Methodological foundation is based at the works of H. Ortega y Gasset, H. G. Gadamer and other philosophers of the twentieth century, who acknowledge the metaphor as a form of scientific thinking and cognition, at the same time see it as a marker of the spiritual space of science. The article outlines the Ukrainian experience of term-building in the context of a long-standing European tradition in combining elements of Western and Eastern approaches to the realization of reality and the transfer of knowledge.Numerous examples confirm the idea that metaphorology as a separate brunch in the 21st century is gaining momentum. Paying attention to metaphorical outview as an integral feature of human thinking (including scientific) offers new aspects and perspectives on the history of the sciences, opens the way to the convergence and interpenetration of scientific spheres, contains a number of axioms for human understanding of nature, history, world and mysteries of being.

Der bulgarisch-mazedonische Streit um historische und sprachliche Identität. Ein Schlichtungsversuch

Author(s): Christian Voss / Language(s): German Issue: 06/2020

In 2020 Bulgaria started a feud with North Macedonia with the reproach of falsifying its own and Bulgarian history. Threats to block the start of EU membership talks with the Western Balkan countries North Macedonia and Albania followed.The article fact-checks the Bulgarian arguments: Since the 1950s a distinct Macedonian standard language exists. The regional history of Macedonia of the 19thand early 20th century can be told as a spill-over of Bulgarian nation-building to the region then still belonging to the Ottoman Empire and later to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. It can also be narrated from the perspective of the local population among which a Macedonian identification developed before 1944– as indifference and/or resistance against the increasingly violent nationalisation attempts from Belgrade, Sofia and Athens and the internal colonisation after the Balkans Wars. “Shared history” does not mean a one-sided, forced adaptation of Macedonian narratives to the Bulgarian ones, but to take a multi-perspective approach.

Canadian Studies: The Hungarian Contribution

Author(s): János Kenyeres / Language(s): English Issue: 21/2020

Canadian Studies was launched in Hungary in 1979, when the first course in Canadian literature was offered at the English Department of Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. This article is intended to explore the history of this discipline in the past 40+ years, focusing on the growing awareness of Canada and its culture in Hungarian academic and intellectual life. As early as the mid-1980s, universities in Hungary offered various courses in Canadian Studies, which were followed by a large number of publications, conferences, and the institutionalization of the field. The article gives a survey of Canadian Studies in Hungary in the international context, showing the ways in which interaction with colleagues in Europe and beyond, and with institutions, such as the Central European Association for Canadian Studies, has promoted the work of Hungarian researchers. The article also discusses the fields of interest and individual achievements of Hungarian scholars, as well as the challenges Canadian Studies has faced.
